On the MOVE to End Alzheimer's

Walkers and Sponsors Help Raise Nearly $300,000 for Memory Walk ‘08;
Committees Begin Work on Memory Walk ‘09

Memory Walk ‘09 looks to be outstanding if the buzz generated from 2008 is any indication!  This fall, nearly 2,100 walkers and volunteers were on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's disease at the chapter’s nine walks, including 232 teams that helped raise nearly $300,000!  All funds raised at the walks support education and support services for local families affected by Alzheimer's disease.

Memory Walk is the largest national fund-raising event for support programs for Alzheimer’s disease.  Every dollar raised helps provide critical services — including care consultation, 24/7 Helpline, support groups, caregiver education, Safe Return and advocacy—for the estimated 44,000 people in the chapter’s 23-county service area who have Alzheimer’s disease.

Work is now underway for Memory Walk ‘09 and your help is needed to make this year an even bigger success! If you would like to be involved as a committee member, sponsor, team builder and/or walker, please call the chapter office nearest you at 1.800.272.3900.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make Memory Walk 2008 a success, our participants, committees, sponsors and volunteers. We appreciate you!  Click here for information about each walks results.
